FALL  RIVER,  MASS. 


Fall  River,  Mass  : 

Its  Location^  Water  Powei\  and 
Growth  in  Cotton  Manufacture. 


ALL  RIVER,  the  largest  Cotton  Manu- 
facturing centre  of  America,  is  a  city 
I  and  port  of  entry  of  Bristol  County, 
Massachusetts.  The  ciiy  is  compactly  built, 
and  rises  somewhat  abruptly  from  the  eastern 
shore  of  Mount  Hope  Bay,  an  arm  of  Narra- 
gansett  Bay. 

The  remarkable  water  power  and  the  spa- 
cious harbor  of  Fall  River,  are  such  in  their 
conjunction  as  few  cities  on  all  the  seaboard 
enjoy,  and  have  been  prime  factors  in  the  in- 
dustrial history  of  the  place.  The  water  power 
is  derived  from  a  small  stream— Fall  River — 
whence  the  name  of  the  city,  which  has  its 
source,  or  is  in  reality  the  outflow  of  a  chain 
of  ponds  lying  two  miles  east  of  the  Bay,  cov- 
ering  an  area  of   3,500  acres,  and  having  a 


6  WATER    POWER. 

length  of  about  eight  miles,  and  an  average 
breadth  of  three  quarters  of  a  mile.  They 
are  mostly  supplied  by  perennial  springs, 
though  receiving  the  outlets  of  several  other 
sheets  of  water.  The  extent  of  country 
drained,  is  comparatively  small, — the  whole 
water-shed  being  not  over  20,000  acres,  and 
the  quantity  of  power  therefore  is  to  be  attrib- 
uted to  the  springs  alluded  to,  and  to  the 
great  and  rapid  fall  of  the  river,  which  in  less 
than  half  a  mile  is  more  than  129  feet.  The 
flow  of  the  river  is  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
one  and  a  half  cubic  feet  per  second,  or  9^41,- 
500,000  Imperial  gallons  in  a  year  of  three 
hundred  days  of  ten  hours  each. 

The  remarkable  advantages  of  this  river  as 
a  mill  stream  have  been  increased  by  building 
a  dam  at  the  outlet  of  the  ponds,  which  gives 
the  water  an  additional  fall  of  two  feet ,  and 
its  lower  banks  are  largely  built  up  with  great 
manufacturing  establishments,  which,  singly 
or  in  groups,  rapidly  succeed  each  other.  The 
river  for  nearly  its  entire  length  runs  upon  a 
granite  bed,  and  for  much  of  the  distance  is 
confined  between  high  banks,  also  of  granite. 
Differing  therefore  from  most  other  water- 
powers,  this  one  allows  the  entire  space  be- 
tween its  banks  to  be  occupied,  and  most  of 


WATER    POWER.  7 

the  water  wheels  connected  with  the  older  fac- 
tories are  placed  directly  in  the  bed  of  the 
river.  While  there  is  an  almost  uniform  and 
constant  supply  of  water,  it  is  never  subject 
to  excess,  and  an  injury  in  consequence  of  a 
freshet  has  never  yet  been  known.  As  the 
river  is  thus  perfectly  controllable,  the  mills 
have  been  built  directly  across  the  river,  the 
wheels  placed  in  the  bed  of  the  river,  and  yet 
from  an  excess  of  water,  no  damage  is  to  be 
apprehended.  In  later  years,  most  of  the 
breast  wheels  employed  in  these  older  mills, 
have  been  supplanted  by  the  modern  appli- 
ances  of    turbine   wheels   and   steam  power.. 

The  successful  management  of  these  facto- 
ries on  the  stream  (the  oldest  organized  in 
1813),  was  the  foundation  of  the  Cotton  Manu- 
facturing industry  in  Fall  River. 

In  the  course  of  years,  with  the  increase  of 
wealth  and  skill  in  manufacture,  and  the  en- 
trance upon  the  stage  of  action  of  younger 
men,  new  projects  were  formed,  and  since  the 
older  mills  occupied  all  available  space  upon 
the  river  banks,  new  situations  were  sought 
out  and  appropriated.  The  "New  Mills," 
so-called,  (1868-73)  were  first  erected  on  the 
margin  of  the  ponds  to  the  south  and  east  of 
the  city,  and  of  which  the  stream  is  the  outlet. 


8  GROWTH    IN 

and  afterwards  in  the  northerly  and  southerly 
sections  of  the  city,  on  the  banks  of  the  Taun- 
ton river  and  Laurel  lake. 

The  number  of  incorporated  companies  for 
the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods  is  now  thirty- 
seven,  owning  fifty-four  mills,  with  an 'incor- 
porated capital  of  $17,478,000,  but  a  probable 
Investment  of  $35,000,000,  containing  1,713,836 
spindles,  and  40,586  looms. 

The  census  of  1880  reports  the  total  num- 
ber of  mills  in  the  United  States  as  751,  con- 
taining 227,156  looms  and  10,678,516  spindles, 
manufacturing  715,000,000  yards  of  print  cloths 
per  annum.  Of  these.  New  England  has  438 
mills,  containing  186,374  looms  and  8,619,334 
spindles,  manufacturing  588,000,000  yards  of 
print  cloths.  Fall  River  has  thus  nearly  l-6th 
of  all  the  spindles  in  the  country,  and  about 
l-5th  of  those  in  New  England,  and  manufac- 
tures over  THREE-FIFTHS  of  all  the  print  cloths. 

The  following  table  will  show  the  number 
of  spindles  in  the  mills  of  Fall  River  at  the 
close  of  each  year  respectively  :

Fall  River  is  49  miles  south  of  Boston,  183 
miles  north-east  of  New  York,  17  miles  south 
of  Taunton,  18  miles  south-east  of  Providence, 
14  miles  west  of  New  Bedford,  and  18  miles 
north  of  Newport.  Daily  lines  of  steamers 
connect  Fall  Kiver,  Providence,  Newport  and 
New  York,  while  three  lines  of  Railways  give 
ample  passenger  and  freight  communications 
inland. 

Fall  River  was  formerly  a  part  of  Freetown, 
and  was  incorporated  as  a  separate  town  in 
1803.  Its  name  was  soon  after  changed  to 
Troy,  but  in  1834  its  old  appellation  was  re- 
stored. Its  Indian  name  was  "  Quequeteant " 
signifying  the  "  place  of  falling  water,"  and 
that  of  the  river  "  Quequechan  "  which  signi- 
fies "falling  water"  or  "  quick  running  water," 
hence  its  appropriate  name  of  Fall  River- 
"  Watuppa,"  the  Indian  name  of  the  ponds  on 
the  east  and  by  which  they  are  still  called, 
signifies  "  boats  "  or  the  "  place  of  boats." 

Fall  River  was  incorporated  a  City  in  1854.
